Hey im just wondering if anyone know what biologically can cause a hot flush? I have looked on a few things but its all coming up with things that I dont need!! Thanks x

IIRC, it`s Something to do with Tryptophan and or Tyramine.

the hot flush experience is to do with Vasodilation

it might be worth using that as an additional search word.
